The Janzen Boys, a folk roots trio from Winnipeg, Canada, began their musical journey in 2012 after moving home from Japan. What started as a casual busking venture at the Forks market quickly blossomed into a family band with a unique harmony-driven sound. They're a rootsy, harmony-singing folk trio from Winnipeg, Manitoba, consisting of brothers Simon and Mick and father J.J. Whether they 're playing at music festivals, theatres, venues or intimate house concerts, they'll have you laughing, crying and singing along to classics that you know and love and catchy original tunes that'll be stuck in your head for days. After completing production on ten songs, The Janzen Boys released their debut full album, |2|, on December 31, 2023. The album's success and demand for live performances allowed them to embark on their first-ever Canadian tour during the summer of 2024, featuring sold-out dates from the coast of BC to Ottawa, ON.
